    Let me get this overwith really quick.

    Bags are for fags, BAgs are not traditional, Real men use lowering blocks........


    Ok so all of that is already in this thread.

    Now to my questions. For the guy's that setup air ride what brand/type do you recommend? It's going on a 3500lb pound '47 dodge coupe with a big block mopar in it. I'm running slam specialites RE6 in the front and RE7 in the rear.

    Thanks in advance.

    As I'm using C4 F&R suspension in my 46 Olds project, I installed Shockwaves as shock absorber and airbag are combined in one unit. Car will weight similar 3.5K lb and only has a SBC & T700. Height easily adjusted with similar shock settings dialed in by turning the knob on each shock. Not traditional but better for our s*** Australian roads.
     
  3. I had the NAPA guy find me some gas shocks for the 59 based on the compressed and extended length I wanted. Just looked it up in the book.

    Stumpy, good luck with the Shockwaves, i have broken two so far and will probably be pulling them out when I get a chance. Not very happy with them.
